Ninja World Gold List: Uchiha Was Exposed At The Start

Chapter 4 : 30th Place

"Three Tomoe Sharingan, it's truly the Uchiha Clan!"

The scene was filled with shock, leaving everyone's minds reeling.

No one could have anticipated that Ran, who had nearly claimed the position of the Fifth Hokage, would actually be an Uchiha.

Keen individuals like Shikamaru Nara and Inoichi Yamanaka, as well as Konoha executives like Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, and even staunch loyalists like Hiruzen Sarutobi, understood the implications of this revelation.

The position of the Fifth Hokage was about to experience upheaval.

"It really is the Uchiha Clan."

"Incredible!"

Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fists with excitement before inquiring, "Ran nii-chan, when did your Sharingan awaken? Why didn't you announce your connection to the Uchiha Clan to the ninja world?"

Teacher Ran had directly become Big Brother Ran. Was this the effect of their shared blood?

Sasuke was still quite inexperienced, not understanding the unique position that Uchiha held within the hearts of high-ranking officials in Konoha. He simply knew that if Uchiha Ran declared his Uchiha lineage to the world, it would establish the Uchiha's influence.

In truth, he had been duped by events all the way up to the moment. He perpetually felt somewhat dim-witted.

Considering that he was not adept in political matters, it was only natural that he would pose such a question.

Uchiha Ran smiled gently, patting Sasuke's head as he explained, "Sasuke, my Sharingan, awakened while I was on a covert mission recently."

"I was taken aback myself and haven't yet decided how to address this."

"It seems you're truly a genius, Ran nii-chan, unlocking the Three Tomoe Sharingan upon opening your eyes." Sasuke nodded, wholly trusting Uchiha Ran's words.

In his eyes, nobody would abandon the illustrious Uchiha name.

"Brother Ran, then will we together avenge the family by taking down that bastard Itachi?" Sasuke eagerly asked.

Uchiha Ran's talents were no less than those of Uchiha Itachi.

The traitorous betrayer's time had finally come!

"There will be an opportunity," Uchiha Ran replied evasively.

His gaze swept across the room.

Observing the palpable unease on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face, as well as the defensive resistance in the eyes of Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, and the resigned helplessness of Shikamaru Nara and Inoichi Yamanaka, Uchiha Ran couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

His concealment had been so easily uncovered. He had been caught unprepared.

When he had first learned about his Uchiha lineage, it was only natural to deceive someone like Sasuke, who was somewhat lacking in discernment.

The truth was that he had discovered his heritage much earlier, and Sharingan had awakened at the age of three.

He was a traveler, having arrived in Konoha from Earth 16 years ago, having been reincarnated into the Uchiha Clan.

Both of his parents were Chūnin.

During Konoha's 48th year, the Nine-Tails' attack had taken a devastating toll on their clan. Though they lived on the fringes of the Uchiha district, his family was situated closest to the village center and thus suffered a direct hit from the Nine-Tails.
